TLDR : Answer Summary
According to the latest discussion, travelers can still expect a 60-day visa upon arrival in Thailand, depending on their nationality. Experiences shared by users indicate that frequent visitors with a good travel record may have a smoother entry, with few questions asked by immigration. However, there have been warnings that travelers with multiple visits in a short period could face scrutiny from immigration officers. Additionally, there are plans to potentially reduce the stay from 60 to 30 days to combat illegal activities, though this change has not been officially confirmed yet.

a-Free Stay to 30 Days. Thailand plans to reduce visa-free stays from 60 days to 30 days to prevent illegal businesses from misusing the visa exemption scheme, according to the Tourism and Sports Ministry. Watch this space!

30 easily extended. 1900 baht.

If you have a record of frequent visits you may have a problem. I was warned a couple of months ago and had to get a visa.
